Blizzard, please start a widespread ban campaign against people who are trolling, feeding and standing/walking afk the whole game. I know you ban players, but its clearly not enough.
And do not only ban the account of someone, but the ip as well. The best would be to ban such people from all Activision Blizzard Services.
None of these players are healty for any of your games. The time to act is NOW!
but then there wonāt be any players left
Problem is you would need real people checking the AFK reports and not automated system.
Also you would need to change the report system to āreports per gameā from the current āreports over timeā.
Afkers/feeders/trolls usually donāt play enough to be catch in the reporting system the way it is now.
No.
The last time they did a group ban a lot of good players left because their friends got banned or because they just disagreed with the poor manner in which blizzard handled the situation.
How about blizzard implements a positive player feedback option. Success breeds success.
It is frustrating, but you really canāt stop it, because it is not as easy to figure it out as you think.
How can you determine what a troll is?
How can you determine what a āfeederā is and not a bad player?
How can you determine what an AFKer is and not a player with connection issues?
But I think much more people left because of trolls and jerks.
If you compare it to the real world: No one would think that malls would be abandoned if you dont let people in who trolls or bully other customers.
And thatās what game companies need to understand. They loose much more paying customers if they dont act.
Itās the number one problem of online gaming!
Thatās the excuse bullies always use
IP banning is just as useless as suggesting āsurrenderā.
You have been able to circumvent IP bans with vpn:s in 2 seconds for about 15 years now. Itās not a solution to anything.
Phone verification can be circumvented too but it would slow them down a lot.
I think there should be something that would allow the trolls/afks/flamers who constantly get reported to all get put on the same āplaceā. Almost like their own āpunishment serverā.
Something along theses lines.
ā¦ Am I the only one who read the title and expected to see a post about Zulājin? 
I think the devs should do monthly ban waves for trolling and afk/leavers.
Here is a great idea: You know how when you leave a match and get ābannedā and you will have to win x matches with leavers in order to get unbanned? Wellā¦ why not do that with trolls too? Iām pretty sure itās very easy for them to come up with a system that matches trolls against them.
The though part is that itās hard to tell when someone is trolling or somesuch.
The report system tries to represent a good balance between the extremes of being trigger happy or too forgiving.
Unfortunately people report each other randomly, instead of discussing with said party what happened and then discussing compensation, such as exchanging a skin or handing out some gold. Like in real life. You rarely hang people, you rather ask for money.
Sometimes you get countered. You look like a troll, but itās just rock-scissor-paper doing its job.
Losing your pick happens as well, sometimes leading to instant draft wins.
Not to mention brawl, where anyone who plays melee is just useless. Anyone who plays that mode is a troll by definition. There are maybe 3 heroes balanced for constant PvP, the rest is either OP, UP or situationally either. (E.g. after the last match I have a good point that (1) Kerrigan needs a 5x health boost (2) Tassadar needs a 50% damage nerf, and the only trait talents should remain (3) Stukov needs to lose his silence and (4) Muradin needs to lose his Q.) Thus, you are either a griefer by winning or a griefer by feeding.
(No, Iām not seriously serious, but you see the point I guess. Hence, reports filed in Brawl belong to /dev/null. Literally should not be considered. Well, maybe if you earn 4+ reports in 5 matches a row.)
I thought this was gonna be about Zulājin getting his much needed nerfs 
doesnt matter anymore. i quit today and so did all my friends. so play your troll alone
I be watchināā¦
Depending on your provider and connection you donāt even need a VPN to change your IP address, some automatically change every time you restart your computer without any effort from the user.
Weāve talked about this before, itās a far better idea than the just bringing out the big stick. I had friends who were master players leave because of the chat rules they were sent by GMās on their chat violation ticket. The rules were very broad and can get you a sanction just because you talked strategy. Remember too people were once chat silenced even with chat disabled until Blizz changed it.
Iām sure they could write a reliable algorithm to detect the most blatant of AFK and intentionally dying behaviors. Other games already have this and they arenāt AAA companies like Acti-Blizz.
looks like the shoe is on the other foot. howās that feel?
